Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Can we permanently put to rest the myth that a businessman knows more how to manage the economy? Or do we have to wait for our economy’s collapse for some among us to grasp it?

When your enemy only speaks one language, money, thats the language you need to learn and weaponize against them. Your enemies figured that out. That's why they love your street protests that erupt and disappear. They love that you refuse to learn about cash flow; they profit on it.

Deporting Americans to foreign prisons sets a nice precedent for when we send these fuckers to The Hague.

Again, why is the story is that we leaked bombing Yemen for the 500th time in 20 years (not including the illegal cluster munitions we gave the Saudis) to Jeffrey Goldberg and not that we bombed Yemen for the 500th time in 20 years (not including the illegal cluster munitions we gave the Saudis)?

If a government can threaten the lawyers who challenge it, what’s left of the rule of law? Power fears accountability and will always make dissent costly. The legal community needs to grow a pair and stand together, because if they fold, we all do.

Zero evidence to support the notion that our governing system elevates the brightest among us. In fact, quite the contrary.

Do these people even watch dystopian movies? Sci-fi? Call me a crank but nothing good comes of this pursuit. Either it works and only the wealthy elite can afford it, and it’s used to advance their interests (more power and profits) Or it doesn’t, and there is some nasty collateral damage.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

Couldn’t agree more. Most American Catholic leadership has decided to compete with evangelicals in a race to the moral bottom of social issues. The Church looses its authority when it sides with power over scripture.

Anyone curious about just how delusional the Dems still are? Just read this analysis from the Kamala crowd. Zero introspection. Blame on everyone else

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Clearest evidence yet we are descending into a dictatorship of the wealthy. These thinly cloaked ‘pillars’ are just the talking points of those that control the flow of capital, and it will be used to justify their exploitation of us all.

I think a big part of what's happening with billionaires like Bezos is that they saw that Elon Musk became a mask-off fascist and paid virtually no price for it, leading them to (probably correctly) think they could do the same.

Umberto Eco put together a now-famous list of 14 attributes of fascistic states. I'm going to discuss each of them in hopes this helps ppl understand that fascism is not just a buzzword. We're going to go through these by theme, so strap in. 🧵

The media platforms that should be calling out this authoritarian takeover are owned by the wealth class carrying out the takeover. Their main intent is to normalize the situation for white, middle class liberals while communicating a fear of resistance and undermining any critique of power.

If President Musk really wanted to cut wasteful spending: -Universal healthcare saves $650B -Gun safety laws save $557B -Ending direct & indirect fossil fuel subsidies saves $650B -Funding the IRS saves $124B But he doesn’t. He just needed an excuse to hijack the government.
